Overview
- U.S. and Ukrainian envoys issued a joint statement calling the Miami meetings productive and constructive, with no agreement announced.
- Negotiators focused on four documents: the 20-point plan, a multilateral security guarantee framework, a U.S. security guarantee framework for Ukraine, and an economic and reconstruction plan, including timelines and sequencing.
- Russia’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev described the discussions as constructive, while Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov rejected European and Ukrainian amendments and said no trilateral U.S.-Ukraine-Russia talks were being prepared.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy voiced support for the U.S.-led process, urged greater pressure on Moscow, and expressed skepticism that proposed three-way talks would yield new results.
- The war continued during the diplomacy, with at least eight killed in a Russian strike on Odesa’s port infrastructure and Ukrainian officials alleging the forced removal of about 50 civilians from Sumy into Russia.
